Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of veterinary drug processing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a flattening machine for pre-processing fruiting Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of Chinese medicinal herb processing, the pretreatment of fruit-bearing medicinal herbs is crucial, directly affecting the subsequent extraction and processing results. However, traditional equipment and methods for flattening fruit-bearing medicinal herbs have many problems.
[0003] In the early days, many Chinese medicinal herb processing enterprises used manual labor or simple tools to flatten the herbs. This method was not only extremely inefficient and time-consuming, but also difficult to guarantee the consistency of the flattening effect. Due to the variability in manual operation, the degree of flattening of the herbs varied, and some herbs were not fully flattened, affecting the subsequent extraction of active ingredients.
[0004] With the development of industrialization, some mechanized flattening equipment has emerged. However, most of these devices have simple structures and usually use single rollers or fixed pressure flattening methods. When processing fruit-type Chinese medicinal materials, single roller flattening equipment cannot ensure that the materials are subjected to uniform force, which can easily lead to uneven flattening and increase the difficulty of subsequent processing. Moreover, fixed pressure equipment cannot adjust the pressure according to the different hardness of Chinese medicinal materials. For materials with higher hardness, it may not be able to flatten them effectively; for materials with lower hardness, excessive pressure may cause the materials to break or lose nutrients.
[0005] Therefore, improvements have been made to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, embodiments of this disclosure provide a flattening machine for pre-processing of fruit-bearing Chinese medicinal materials, which solves the technical problems of uneven pressure and inability to adjust pressure in the prior art.

Elongated holes are provided on both sides of the outer shell. An outer frame is provided on the side end face of the movable frame. The outer frame passes through the elongated holes and is located on the outside. A second motor is installed on the outer frame.
[0012] As a further technical solution, the output end of the second motor is connected to the extrusion roller, a conveyor belt is installed inside the base frame, and several rolling rods are rotatably connected inside the base frame.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the movable frame is fitted outside the lower pressure frame, and round rods are provided at both ends of the outer shell surface. The round rods are movably connected to the movable frame, and a pair of first springs are fitted on the round rods.
[0015] As a further technical solution, the feeding assembly includes a rotating roller, which is rotatably connected inside the housing and connected to the output end of the drive motor. The surface of the rotating roller is provided with feeding teeth.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:
[0021] 1. In this disclosure, the beneficial effects of the flattening assembly are that the second motor drives the extrusion roller to rotate to achieve the flattening operation, the adjusting screw and the lower pressure frame can flexibly adjust the distance between the extrusion roller and the conveyor belt to adapt to Chinese medicinal materials with different hardness and thickness, and the setting of the first spring not only plays a buffering role to prevent sudden pressure changes from damaging the medicinal materials, but also helps to increase the extrusion force when adjusting the pressure, ensuring that the medicinal materials are subjected to uniform force, improving the flattening quality, and reducing the breakage of medicinal materials and the loss of nutrients.
[0022] 2. In this disclosure, the beneficial effect of the feeding component is that the drive motor drives the rotating roller to rotate, the feeding tooth quantitatively feeds the material, controls the amount of medicinal material falling, and the combination of the baffle, baffle plate and second spring effectively blocks too much medicinal material from falling, ensuring uniform feeding and avoiding differences in flattening effect caused by uneven feeding. This provides a guarantee for subsequent stable and efficient flattening operations and improves the production efficiency of the entire pre-processing process. Attached Figure Description

[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a flattening machine for pre-processing fruiting Chinese medicinal materials according to an embodiment of this disclosure, comprising:
[0036] The housing 1 and the drive motor 2 are mounted on the side surface of the housing 1.
[0037] The feeding component 6 is disposed inside the outer casing 1;
[0038] Bottom opening 3, base frame 4 and flattening component 5, the bottom opening 3 is opened at the bottom of the outer shell 1, the base frame 4 is fixed at the bottom of the outer shell 1, and the flattening component 5 is set inside the outer shell 1;
[0039] The flattening assembly 5 includes a movable frame 5-1, which is movably fitted inside the top of the outer casing 1. A pressing roller 5-2 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the movable frame 5-1. Elongated holes 5-3 are provided on both sides of the outer casing 1. An outer frame 5-4 is provided on the side end face of the movable frame 5-1, passing through the elongated holes 5-3 and located externally. A second motor 5-5 is mounted on the outer frame 5-4, and the output end of the second motor 5-5 is connected to the pressing roller 5-2. A conveyor belt 5-6 is installed inside the base frame 4, and is rotatably connected to... There are several rolling rods 5-7, which are supported on the top of the conveyor belt 5-6. The rolling rods are located below the extrusion roller 5-2. An adjusting screw 5-8 is rotatably connected to the top of the outer shell 1. A lower pressure frame 5-9 is connected to the outside of the adjusting screw 5-8 by a threaded connection. A movable frame 5-1 is fitted on the outside of the lower pressure frame 5-9. Round rods 5-10 are provided at both ends of the surface of the outer shell 1. The round rods 5-10 are movably connected to the movable frame 5-1. A pair of first springs 5-11 are fitted on the round rods 5-10.
[0040] In some examples, to achieve an adjustable-pressure flattening effect, a flattening component 5 is designed. This component includes a movable frame 5-1, which is movably fitted inside the top of the outer casing 1. Its lower end is rotatably connected to a pressing roller 5-2. Elongated holes 5-3 are opened on both sides of the outer casing 1. An outer frame 5-4 extends outward through the elongated holes 5-3 from the side end face of the movable frame 5-1. A second motor 5-5 is mounted on the outer frame 5-4, and the output end of this motor is connected to the pressing roller 5-2. When the second motor 5-5 operates, it drives the pressing roller 5-2 to rotate and press against the medicinal material. A conveyor belt 5-6 is installed inside the base frame 4 to transport the medicinal material to be flattened. Several rolling rods 5-7 are also rotatably connected in the base frame 4. These rolling rods 5-7 are supported at the top of the conveyor belt 5-6 and positioned below the pressing roller 5-2, serving a load-bearing function. The rolling rods 5-7 support the conveyor belt 5-6, ensuring stability during the transport of the medicinal material, and can interact with the pressing roller 5-2. 2. The mechanism is designed to flatten the medicinal materials as they pass through. The top of the outer shell 1 is rotatably connected to an adjusting screw 5-8. The adjusting screw 5-8 is threadedly connected to a lower pressure frame 5-9. A movable frame 5-1 is fitted onto the outside of the lower pressure frame 5-9. By rotating the adjusting screw 5-8, the lower pressure frame 5-9 can move up and down, which in turn drives the movable frame 5-1 and the extrusion roller 5-2 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between the extrusion roller 5-2 and the conveyor belt 5-6 to accommodate the flattening requirements of materials of different thicknesses. The outer shell 1 has round rods 5-10 at both ends. The round rods 5-10 and the movable frame 5-1 are movably fitted together. A pair of first springs 5-11 are fitted on the round rods 5-10. The first springs 5-11 play the role of buffering and elastic support. When the adjusting screw 5-8 is turned, the lower pressure frame 5-9 can be moved downward, which can compress the first springs 5-11 to make them contract and reach an energy storage state, which can increase the pressure of the extrusion roller 5-2.
[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a feeding assembly 6 including a rotating roller 6-1, which is rotatably connected inside the housing 1. The rotating roller 6-1 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 2. The surface of the rotating roller 6-1 is provided with feeding teeth 6-2. A baffle 6-3 is provided inside the housing 1. A baffle 6-4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the baffle 6-3 through a pin. A fixing plate 6-5 is provided inside the housing 1. Several second springs 6-6 are connected between the fixing plate 6-5 and the baffle 6-4.
[0042] In some examples, to achieve the effect of quantitative and uniform feeding, a feeding component 6 is designed. This component includes a rotating roller 6-1 and is rotatably connected inside the outer shell 1. The rotating roller 6-1 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 2, which provides power to control the rotation of the rotating roller 6-1. The surface of the rotating roller 6-1 is provided with material-carrying protrusions 6-2. When the medicinal materials are put into the outer shell 1, some of the medicinal materials can be carried down by the material-carrying protrusions 6-2 when the rotating roller 6-1 rotates. A baffle 6-3 and a baffle 6-4 rotatably connected to the bottom by a pin are provided on one side inside the outer shell 1. A fixing plate 6-5 is provided inside the outer shell 1. Multiple second springs 6-6 are connected between the fixing plate 6-5 and the baffle 6-4. The baffle 6-4 can block some of the medicinal materials and can rotate backward under pressure to avoid carrying down too much medicinal material at once.
[0043] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the extrusion roller 5-2 has a toothed structure.
[0044] In some examples, the toothed structure enables the extrusion roller 5-2 to drive the extrusion process.
[0045] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, one end of conveyor belt 5-6 slopes downwards, forming a sloping structure.
[0046] In some examples, the sloping structure facilitates the flattened herbs to fall downwards and be discharged, preventing them from piling up.
[0047] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a screw block 7 is provided at the upper end of the adjusting screw 5-8. The screw block 7 has a polygonal structure.
[0048] In some examples, the pressure is adjusted by turning the adjusting screws 5-8 by setting up a polygonal screw block 7.
[0049] In actual use: Pour the fruit-type Chinese medicinal materials into the outer shell 1, start the drive motor 2, drive motor 2 drives the rotating roller 6-1 to rotate, the material-carrying protrusions 6-2 on the surface of the rotating roller 6-1 carry the medicinal materials down, the baffle 6-3 and the baffle 6-4 work together to control the amount of material fed, start the second motor 5-5, drive the extrusion roller 5-2 to rotate, rotate the adjusting screw 5-8, the lower pressure frame 5-9 drives the movable frame 5-1 and the extrusion roller 5-2 to move, adjust the distance between the extrusion roller 5-2 and the conveyor belt 5-6, the first spring 5-11 provides buffering and auxiliary pressure, the extrusion roller 5-2 flattens the medicinal materials on the conveyor belt 5-6, and the flattened medicinal materials are discharged through the sloping structure at one end of the conveyor belt 5-6.
